A review is presented for vibration suppression of civil structures. Special emphasis is laid upon smart structures with piezoelectric control actuation. The last decade has seen spiraling efforts going on around the world into development of the smart structures field. The success of these smart structures is orchestrated by the materials, such as piezoceramics, shape memory alloys, controllable...
Shape memory alloy (SMA) is a novel functional material and has found increasing applications in many areas. Recently, research efforts have been extended to using SMA for control of civil structures. This paper presents a review of applications of the SMA materials for passive, active and semi-active controls of civil structures. First, an overview of the characteristics of SMA is presented. The...
